Water bodies are described by a plethora of different names in English - rivers, ... We'll begin with the different forms of flowing water. The smallest water channels are often called brooks but creeks are often larger than brooks but may either be permanent or intermittent. Creeks are also sometimes known as streams but...

The family of water channels ... The names given to the sequences are laboratory specific and strongly influenced by historical issues. Therefore, there exists a need to develop a consistent nomenclature based on function, cellular location, and sequence similarity.

It was in 1998 that Roderick MacKinnon succeeded for the first time in showing what ion channels look like at atomic level – an achievement which, together with Agre’s discovery of water channels, opened up entirely new research areas in biochemistry and biology.

Living organisms are dependent on being able to adjust the water content in their cells. This is achieved by regulating the flow of water through the cell membrane. ... Water is ‘turned on’ and ‘turned off’ by membrane proteins that function as water conduits and are called aquaporins. In the new issue of...

Nevertheless, simple diffusion does not account for all water movement through biologic membranes, and specialized water channels were predicted to explain the high water permeability of certain tissues (reviewed in reference (2). In particular, the water permeability of red cell membranes is much higher than that...

When our policy says that we display the "primary, common, local" names for a body of water, each of those three adjectives has an important and distinct meaning. By saying "primary", we aim to include names of dominant use, rather than having to add every conceivable local nickname or variation.
